Pros
Creekside pavilion accommodates outdoor events for up to 500 guests
Direct access to seasonal indoor and outdoor pool complex with waterfalls
Multiple room types available, including fireplace rooms and executive suites
Trolley stop at entrance provides free transportation around town
Cons
Located 49.5 miles from McGhee Tyson Airport
Some rooms face interior corridors rather than exterior views
“What I found appealing here is the blend of historical charm with a focus on family fun; the pools are definite highlights. It's within walking distance to downtown, which adds a layer of convenience, especially with that creekside pavilion providing a nice spot to unwind. The event spaces are quite versatile, making it a solid option for various gatherings.”

The Glenstone Lodge is a fantastic choice for families visiting Gatlinburg. The indoor pool area is a real highlight, providing endless fun for the kids, and the staff is exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, though slightly dated, and the location makes it easy to walk to the main attractions. One downside was the noise from maintenance work early in the morning, but overall, we had a great time.
